Cruiser sideswiped during traffic stop

SHEFFIELD LAKE — A police cruiser was struck while making a stop Tuesday night on Lake Road.
Officer James Simone had stopped David Scott, 26, of Lorain, and had him detained in his cruiser for driving under suspension and a warrant out of the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office about 9 p.m. when his cruiser was sideswiped by a vehicle, Chief Tony Campo said.
“We are still looking for the car,” Campo said.
He added that the dash cam of the cruiser was running and was able to capture images of the vehicle.
Scott was taken to Mercy Regional Medical Center where he was treated and released.
“Simone had some bumps and bruises, but he’s OK other than that,” Campo said.
